ON A SYSTEM APPROACH TO THE SELECTION OF SAFETY BARRIERS FOR THE DISPOSAL OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE CLASS 3 AND 4

The article describes different designs and materials of engineered safety barriers (ESB) for radioactive waste disposal facilities, systematizes the functions and technical specifications of EBS and based on a system approach proposes safety barrier materials and designs for the disposal of radioactive waste class 3 and 4.

Keywords: radioactive waste, surface and near surface disposal facilities, engineered safety barriers, containers for radioactive waste disposal, bentonite, system approach.
